A Western Adventure

Rick and the horses that will be making the trip.

Shawnee and Shiloh

Rick chose the Native American Indian Dog, as a breed sturdy and hardy enough to carry a backpack of 50 lbs. all day long, to keep up with horses on this several thousand mile journey, and a breed of dog with enough fortitude and courage to keep mountain lions and bears at bay.  Any donations that could help Rick purchase enough food and supplies for his horses, himself and his two Native American Indian Dogs would be greatly appreciated.  Majestic View Kennels is already signed up to be a sponsor for his ride.

 

“The purpose for the trip is to gain a closer connection with nature, to create an awareness for the importance Indigenous People have on our planet and to create awareness on the importance of saving and protecting the Environment...

...I will need help along the way by helping finance the trip; being a support person to help re-supply or a place for a rest and warm shower. Even a place to stay the winter for my dogs, horses and myself. I hope to write and read during the winter and I will have to work as well to support my trip. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

“…I am trying to get sponsors so if you know anyone who might be interested, give them my email. I hope during my trip I can bring awareness to the Environment and Indigenous People around the world.

"...The first year starting in the end of June 2006,  I will ride from California through Oregon, Washington and up to Canada.  I will stay in Canada for the winter.  The following spring I hope to go from Canada down to Montana, Wyoming, Colorado to New Mexico.  I may make a detour to South Dakota and maybe North Dakota.  The following year I will go from New Mexico to Arizona up to Utah, Wyoming and Idaho.  This trip is estimated to be three to five years.  It will be all on horseback and camping in the wilds.  I hope to live with some Indian Nations on the way.  Maybe for a winter break or along the trip..."
